2006-01-13	[NET]: Use NIP6_FMT in kernel.h	Joe Perches
	There are errors and inconsistency in the display of NIP6 strings. ie: net/ipv6/ip6_flowlabel.c There are errors and inconsistency in the display of NIPQUAD strings too. ie: net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_ftp.c This patch: adds NIP6_FMT to kernel.h changes all code to use NIP6_FMT fixes net/ipv6/ip6_flowlabel.c adds NIPQUAD_FMT to kernel.h fixes net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_ftp.c changes a few uses of "%u.%u.%u.%u" to NIPQUAD_FMT for symmetry to NIP6_FMT Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-01-10	[PATCH] dump_thread() cleanup	akpm@osdl.org
	) From: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> - create one common dump_thread() prototype in kernel.h - dump_thread() is only used in fs/binfmt_aout.c and can therefore be removed on all architectures where CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT is not available Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-01-09	[PATCH] mutex subsystem, add typecheck_fn(type, function)	Chuck Ebbert
	add typecheck_fn(type, function) to do type-checking of function pointers. Modified-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> (made it typeof() based, instead of typedef based.) Signed-off-by: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2006-01-08	[PATCH] remove gcc-2 checks	Andrew Morton
	Remove various things which were checking for gcc-1.x and gcc-2.x compilers. From: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Some documentation updates and removes some code paths for gcc < 3.2.

2005-11-07	[PATCH] __deprecated_for_modules: panic_timeout	Adrian Bunk
	This looks like something which out-of-tree code could possibly be using. Give panic_timeout the twelve-month treatment. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-11-07	[PATCH] kernel-docs: fix kernel-doc format problems	Randy Dunlap
	Convert to proper kernel-doc format. Some have extra blank lines (not allowed immed. after the function name) or need blank lines (after all parameters). Function summary must be only one line. Colon (":") in a function description does weird things (causes kernel-doc to think that it's a new section head sadly).

2005-10-30	[PATCH] include/linux/kernel.h:BUILD_BUG_ON(): fix a comment	Nikita Danilov

2005-09-13	[PATCH] Make BUILD_BUG_ON fail at compile time.	Andi Kleen
	Force a compiler error instead of a link error, because they are easier to track down. Idea stolen from code by Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> If the argument to BUILD_BUG_ON evaluates to non-zero the compiler will do: t.c:6: error: size of array `type name' is negative (surprised that gcc doesn't have an extension for this) Signed-off-by: "Andi Kleen" <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-06-25	[PATCH] sched: voluntary kernel preemption	Ingo Molnar
	This patch adds a new preemption model: 'Voluntary Kernel Preemption'. The 3 models can be selected from a new menu: (X) No Forced Preemption (Server) ( ) Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop) ( ) Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop) we still default to the stock (Server) preemption model. Voluntary preemption works by adding a cond_resched() (reschedule-if-needed) call to every might_sleep() check. It is lighter than CONFIG_PREEMPT - at the cost of not having as tight latencies. It represents a different latency/complexity/overhead tradeoff. It has no runtime impact at all if disabled. Here are size stats that show how the various preemption models impact the kernel's size: text data bss dec hex filename 3618774 547184 179896 4345854 424ffe vmlinux.stock 3626406 547184 179896 4353486 426dce vmlinux.voluntary +0.2% 3748414 548640 179896 4476950 445016 vmlinux.preempt +3.5% voluntary-preempt is +0.2% of .text, preempt is +3.5%. This feature has been tested for many months by lots of people (and it's also included in the RHEL4 distribution and earlier variants were in Fedora as well), and it's intended for users and distributions who dont want to use full-blown CONFIG_PREEMPT for one reason or another.

2005-05-01	[PATCH] clean up kernel messages	Matt Mackall
	Arrange for all kernel printks to be no-ops. Only available if CONFIG_EMBEDDED. This patch saves about 375k on my laptop config and nearly 100k on minimal configs.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
